The RS485 interface between the keyboard and the receiver, allows one keyboard to control as many as 32 intelligent speed domes with a maximum communication distance of up to 1.2 km. The keyboard is very easy to operate and control the Speed Dome Camera including functions to control pan, tilt, lens etc.

6. Installation and Connection Please read the keyboard and speed dome manuals carefully before connecting wires. Any incorrect connections can cause permanent damage to the equipment. When connecting wires, always switch off the power supply first. The PTZ700 keyboard must not be exposed to damp or wet conditions that may short circuit the unit or cause electric shock.

It is advisable to use CAT5 cable to connect the RS485 data cable from the dome to the keypad. You could use any pair out of the CAT5 cable but they must be two cores from the same pair. Why not use for example the orange pair so that the colours tie together a little? If you use cores from two different pairs in the CAT5 cable you will not get the benefit of the shielding effect of the cable twists and the dome will function erratically.
7. Keyboard Operation Camera Address. In order to control the dome you will need to uniquely address it. The dome will usually have dip switches to set the address. When the address is set you will need to use this address to access the specific dome. Enter the numeric dome address using the numeric keypad.
To test if the preset is stored correctly in the dome, use the joystick to move the camera to point in a new location. Now press xx CALL (where xx is the preset you wish the camera to go to). In this example if you press 01 CALL the dome should go straight to the PRESET 01 location.
